[PATCH] git-seek: Eliminate spurious warning. Fix errant reference to git-bisect in docs.

This fixed a bug that would cause "git seek" to mistakenly try to
checkout the seek branch just after deleting it. Of course, that would
never work, but fixing the bug does squelch the annoying error caused
by the bug.

Also fix an errant title of "git-bisect" in the git-seek documentation.

Thanks.

It at least takes some care not to leave commits dangling when doing
this, (the seek branch must at least be a subset of the current
HEAD). I was pretty much following the lead of git-bisect here,
(though "bisect" is definitely a touch longer and less common than
"seek").

If it would be preferred to hide such "internal" branch names behind
some unlikely symbol or such, that would obviously be easy to do.

As is, the seek branch is at least documented, and rather well
advertised in operation, (for example, returning with "git seek"
reported "Deleted branch seek.").

Yeah, I don't know. Again, I was just imitating things I'd seen
elsewhere.
